Re: Captivate 2.2 problems...

I too had a fairly smooth running phone until I upgraded to Froyo. With Eclair my only complaints were that Wallpaper Rotator was unstable and I couldn't run Stupid Zombies. After 2.2 I've had numerous Force Close messages, numerous network errors, and I was unable to connect to my home wife, causing me to just go ahead and do a factory reset. Today the stupid home wifi problem returned, and nothing fixes it. I hate to have to yet another factory reset. I'm getting really tired of reinstalling apps. Tomorrow is day 29 since I bought the phone at Wal-Mart. I'm highly tempted to exchange it.

Re: Captivate 2.2 problems...

After updating to 2.2, everything worked fine for a week. But now, all of a sudden, if I have the GPS turned on, the phone starts vibrating and eventually locks and goes to black screen. I end up having to do a hard reboot (power button & volume up) or removing the battery. After starting, I need to turn off the GPS as quickly as possible. With GPS turned off, everything runs fine. Anyone else having a similar issue?

Re: Captivate 2.2 problems...

my phone is now killing my battery, vibrates after turning it off and putting it on charge....it will vibrate a minute after it has been pu on charge....it's deleted all the ("Dr.") prefixes for my doctors names in my contacts list...example Dr. Jacabs has become jacobs...to ALL my Dr. contacts!!!

Re: Captivate 2.2 problems...

I have been having the EXACT same problems. The GPS thing is bizarre, I got a replacement phone through warranty and lo and behold, same issues. Phone shuts down, have to remove battery/hard reboot to start it up again. I don't know if it's strictly an app or widget messing with it, but it seems like the GPS is the troublemaker. They have got to do something about this.

Re: Captivate 2.2 problems...

The resolution for me was to restore the phone back to default (which stayed at 2.2). To reinstall my programs I used AppBrain. Any pictures I had taken we not deleted. I did need to manually put back most of my settings.

Re: Captivate 2.2 problems...

Mine is doing the same exact thing. When it does work, it works beautifully. That only lasts for maybe 6 hours or so. Then I have all the problems you mentioned. I when the screen unexpectedly goes black, it wont even allow me to reboot with the pinhole. I have to remove the battery.

Re: Captivate 2.2 problems...

I have two Captivates in service, mine and my wife's phone. I updated both and haven't had any issues that I'm aware of. I do occasionally get a force close on a random app, but I got those with the Motorola Backflip android phone my Captivate replaced as well. Overall I've have a wonderful experience with my Cappys. I hope each of you find a way to resolve your issues, because the Captivate is an OUTSTANDING handset. All you Apple fans can keep your IPhones, my Captivate is waaay better!
